This chapter is devoted to self-justification......

As for all kinds of hard injuries, all kinds of déjà vu, everyone can ignore them, and they can't ignore them...... Please ignore it as well (from Pia)

Recently, the writing article is completely out of state, and the beloved color reader was knocked off the ground and broken by a certain daredevil, and the work is not energetic, and the quarrels at home have also increased...... So to sum up, someone has entered the period of "May disease". (Serious)

Ahem, I'm kidding

In short, HP will probably remain in a state of every four days or six days (no more than eight days at the latest), please continue to support it (everyone: you bastard who procrastination for various reasons!) ）

Wand 6 (Reversed): Gains and losses on the surface.

English Malfoy Manor Guest Rooms

、

[So, today's shopping trip was a real mess......]

After refusing the help of the house-elf, Opal took a lot of effort to drag the completely uncooperative black dog into the bathroom of the room, and after washing it, he said to himself while helping it blow the wind and smooth the hair, [Do you say, Xiao Ke?] ]

And since being swept into the bathroom by Opal, the black dog that has been in a state of complete abandonment and limbs are at the mercy of the black dog, and the tail swinging weakly can be regarded as echoing, but its expression at the moment can be seen even by Nagini, who is a bystander, as a complete "grievance" and "self-defeating", but it is obvious that Opal has no feeling for this at all - although Nagini suspects that his little master is simply pretending to be confused.

[Fortunately, though, it's not all for nothing.] ]

The opal necklace was one of them, and Pansy's attitude was interesting - but the biggest takeaway was ......

Opal's gaze fell on the black dog, whose eyes were almost narrowed because it was so comfortable, and raised an eyebrow.

Sure enough, it's still this wizard in the form of a black dog in the form of Animagus, right?

Not only did he know "Walty" in the past, but if I guessed correctly, I also knew Harry's parents, and the relationship was still quite good at that time.

The only thing I don't know now is who this guy is, after all, he was so desperate that he had to run around using his Animagus form and almost got caught in a pet store - no matter how he thought about it, it seemed to mean that this guy was in big trouble behind him.

But for Opal, the last thing she lacks is time and patience.

Now she hasn't found the best time to unearth the secret of Pansy, who is also a traverser, so the plan to study this black dog can be postponed for the time being - anyway, she has been fed the "solidification potion" and the contract collar sponsored by Qianwei's sister, even if this guy wants to turn back into a human form and escape.

[There's a lot more to deal with, but let's do the same.] ]

After exhaling a breath and putting down the comb in his hand, Opal looked at the black dog who was already completely asleep, hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and then a "Stupefy" (fainted) made the completely unsuspecting fellow sleep even more, and walked back to the bedside, [Nagini. ]

{Yes, what commands?} }

Nagini hissed as she slid off the bedside post.

[You hide it on Nicker's collar for the time being, help me pay attention to Pansy and Cut's contact, and tell me everything you say, you know?] ]

As soon as he remembered Pansy's reaction to seeing the Black Dog outside the Blotted bookstore, Opal was sure there must be something inside.

But again, Opal didn't think her relationship with Pansy was good enough to hear her mention it, and she had no choice but to let Nagini take notice of it if she didn't want to use the Truth Elixir and the Oblivion Charm.

{But...... Adults ask me to ......}

[I won't go out during this time, at most I will go to the potions room or the study, you can help me pay attention to this time, it's not too much, right?] ]

Opal knew exactly what Nagini was worried about, so he arranged his worries well.

Anyway, only she knew about Nagini's existence, and although it seemed overkill to use a magical creature for "eavesdropping", Opal couldn't care about it that much.

{Got it.} }

At this point, Nagini could only nod his head in obedience - after all, it was just a magical pet, and some things were okay to suggest, but the final decision was made by its owner, Opal.

After receiving Nagini's affirmative answer, Opal retracted her thoughts in this regard, and after weighing up the gains and losses of "studying the journal" and "getting the job done", she finally pouted, sat back down at her desk, and began to stare at the pile of papers that Vivien had thrown at her.

So much stuff...... I don't understand a lot of the above......

Sure enough, it would be better to ask the house-elves to help her move all these documents to the library, right?

At least it would be easier to find information.

========================== I am ===================== dividing line of the passage of time

The Malfoy Manor, England, Library

、

After taking care of the matter and giving orders to his servants, Riddle waved away the terrified Lucius and strolled around the backyard of Malfoy Manor.

After revealing that he wanted to take a break in the backyard, Lucius was going to do the natural way of the Death Eater - but since Opal had been in the library before that, he was not notified.

However, Lucius was also well aware of the relationship between Opal and Riddle, so after receiving a reply from his servant that "Miss Snape is not in the living room or guest room", he did not go looking for anyone with great fanfare, but took Draco and the others who had been notified by him to go to Diagon Alley again - because of the previous conflict between him and Arthur Weasley at the Blotted bookstore, many of the children's supplies for the next school year were not purchased.

So Riddle, who was walking leisurely in the backyard of the Malfoy house, didn't worry about being seen - the Death Eaters had been meeting at night, and there had been probably some chaos in recent times due to the interference of the Muggle world in Azkaban.

Strictly speaking, this is actually a mistake on the part of the Ministry of Magic itself - because it is too superstitious about the power of the Dementors, it has relaxed its supervision of the wizarding manpower of Azkaban, and instead handed over to the forces of the Muggle Underworld, which directly leads to the fugitives inside being completely unnoticed after escaping in various ways - if it were not for the fact that the prisoner's family and some kind of "enemies" came to visit the prison.

The result of the discovery of the mistake was an uproar within the Ministry of Magic, and as a result of the resignation of all the mid-level officials in charge of the prison for the sake of face, the upper echelons took advantage of the recent seizure of Muggle contraband to begin the clean-up of the wizarding world - of course, this is known only to a few of the real participants, but God knows how the bad decision-makers would have thought that the fugitives would hide in the homes of ordinary wizards.

It would be a lie to say that such an action had no effect on the Death Eaters, but it wasn't significant. At most, it is cheaper, and the intermediaries and buyers who are looking for all kinds of contraband, by the way, let the entrances and exits of the secret rooms used by the Death Eaters to hide their "list" family members have a few more layers of "don't pay attention to my curse".

Because in a sense, the person who should have a headache about this matter is the Ministry of Magic, and the officials in the Ministry of Magic among the Death Eaters have little connection with the main department of this matter, so this kind of chaos that is just for self-preservation, Riddle is completely too lazy to pay attention to it. After giving some documentation about the Death Eaters' recent activities, and giving instructions on their activities, Riddle's current situation can really be described as "idle".

Then, through the window of the first-floor library, Riddle saw Opal, who was busy with something in the stacks of what looked like crumbling papers.

Because of the serious relationship, Opal, who was meditating, did not find Riddle standing outside the window, but bit the end of the quill and frowned at the two documents in his hand, as if he was comparing data.

The prefect job at Hogwarts shouldn't be complicated enough to give his silent girl such a headache, right?

Riddle, who didn't think Opal's skills were enough to handle the work of a Slytherin prefect, raised his eyebrows slightly, paused before walking towards the hallway leading to the library.

Pushing open the door to the library, Riddle had tried to reduce the sound of his movements as much as possible, but Opal's ears at the table moved and he looked away.

The pigeon's blood-red eyes blinked, and then the petite man pounced happily after showing a look of disbelief: [Riddle Riddle Riddle!] ]

As for why Riddle is here, it is simply a question for Opal that he doesn't even have to think about.

"What are you up to?"

Patting his little head in his arms, Riddle lowered his hand, while Opal puffed out and pulled over the side of the chair to signal him to sit down at his table.

[It was Miss Vivien who threw it over, saying that it was to familiarize me with the family business in advance.] ]

Feeling that there was nothing to hide—and in fact Opal felt that there was no need to hide anything from Riddle, he replied quickly, [but...... Probably because it was my first time in contact with this type of official business, although there were examples that I could refer to, I still found it difficult to deal with. ]

"Family?"

After raising an eyebrow, Riddle took a seat in his chair and picked up a document as his eyes fell on the ring that Opal had placed on the table to stamp.

[Well, Cappadocia.] ]

Noticing Riddle's gaze, Opal handed him the ring directly, [Miss Vivien says Riddle knows.] ]

He did know that it was right, but he didn't expect that the witch would be willing to leave one of the thirteen branches of the blood clan to his silent girl to take care of.

After confirming that the shape of the ring was the same as in his own memory, and then reminiscent of someone's personality, Riddle drew a row of black lines on the back of his head without a trace - well, maybe he had to admit it, maybe it was just that the witch simply felt troubled and chose to find free labor to deal with the "burden" for her.

"Show me."

Putting the ring back on the table, Riddle took the document she was looking at from Opal's hand, glanced aside, and frowned, "How could you be asked to deal with such a thing?" ”

What Opal was looking at was a budget statement for the clan, which was densely packed with figures and charts that made people feel dizzy at first glance.

However, because some of the data on it has been highlighted by Opal, it still looks quite organized.

Even with a cursory glance, Riddle had to admit that Opal was handling it well at the moment—but then again, when did his Silent Girl let him down?

[Miss Vivien said that the economy is the foundation of a family, so she threw the basic documents over for me to get started.] ]

Holding his chin with one hand, Opal puffed out his mouth, [although a third of the files have been disposed of, I still feel that it is a headache to do it, such as here and here...... It's not right. What does Riddle think? ]

“…… You're mixing up the daily interest rate and the monthly compound interest calculation. If you use the annual interest here, but you use the monthly interest, you will naturally feel wrong. ”

After going through all the documents again and thinking about it, Riddle gave the answer.

[That's it......]

After frowning and lying on the table for a while, Opal nodded, [That's right. But it's really hard...... Riddle is so good that he only needs to look at it for a while to know what to do. ]

"You've never been exposed to this type of Kumon before, so it's good to be able to do this."

Looking at Opal's drooped ears with some amusement, Riddle, who had already retrieved several documents that Opal had worked on and looked through them, knew very well what to do to cheer her up—in fact, although there were still immature places, Opal handled it very well.

You know, Opal is not yet 12 years old.

If Opal can keep up this growth, even Riddle admits that he's a little excited about her future.

[But there's still no way to do the best......]

Although Riddle received a rare compliment and lifted his spirits a little, Opal still felt that there was a fly in the ointment, [Speaking of which, Riddle came for the mission he gave Opal before?] ]

“……”

After two or three seconds of stunned, Riddle remembered what Opal meant.

Only his silent girl would remember his every word so much, and ask herself to do her best to complete the task he has set out, no matter how unreasonable it may be?

So, "So, is there a result?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Riddle watched with some amusement as the furry ears on Opal's head drooped again, and then his eyes began to dodge left and right.

Well, it's really clear what the answer will be.

[Because I was busy with the documents sent by Miss Vivian, I met with all the guests, but only completed a small part of the analysis.] More than half of it has yet to be confirmed. ]

Digging through the pile of papers, Opal handed it to Riddle with a nervous look on his face, [sorry, not all done......]

In fact, it was because she was too big and thought that she could quickly finish the documents thrown by Sister Qianwei, but she didn't expect to be able to finish the things before Riddle came.

Of course, Opal's mode of thinking is not at all to think about "Riddle appeared too early".

Riddle quickly read through the list and nodded—in fact, although it was only a small part, it matched his own information, and it was clear that Opal was doing it with great care.

"Well done."

After putting the list down, the corners of Riddle's lips curled slightly, and he patted Opal's little head again.

[Huh?] But Opal wasn't done......]

In response to this sudden compliment, Opal was clearly sluggish.

Well, you can see the countless question marks shining on her head.

Riddle, who found that he was always in a good mood when he spent time with Opal, completely bent his eyebrows this time: "I'm just a temporary spot check, and it's not time for you to officially give me an answer." ”

[Whew...... That's it! ]

Opal patted his chest, then tilted his head, [So the results of the spot check?] ]

"You've done a great job so far. Give me the official list when I finish my vacation at the Malfoy house, if the results are satisfactory......"

[And then?] ]

Tilting his head, Opal's tail was wagging from side to side in anticipation.

"I can take you out for a ride."

After a pause, Riddle added, "It's me and you traveling." ”

Then, not at all, I was not surprised to see Opal's whole person instantly shine.

As always, it's easy to understand.

[Great!] ]

Opal's eyes were full of little stars at the moment—this was what she wanted most—and she clenched her fists with determination, [Opal will definitely try!] ]

Be sure to dispose of the documents that Senior Sister Qianwei threw over as soon as possible, and then complete the task given to her by Riddle!

Opal is completely in full bloom at the moment.

And Riddle just smiled.

His silent girl was always so simple and easy to understand, thinking of him as everything.

It's nice to keep it up like this, isn't it?
